Background:
A garden center in the Netherlands sought to improve its energy efficiency and reduce operational costs by leveraging its rooftop PV system. To optimize solar energy utilization and manage peak demand effectively, the center needed a reliable energy storage solution that could be deployed quickly and seamlessly.
Challenges:
- Underutilized Solar Energy: The garden center’s rooftop PV system lacked storage, leading to wasted surplus solar power.
- Peak Demand Costs: High electricity usage during peak periods resulted in elevated demand charges.
- Quick Deployment Needs: The project required fast and efficient installation to minimize operational disruptions.
Solution:
To address these challenges, POWEROAD provided a 1MW / 2.2MWh FLEX 215 Air Cooling Outdoor Cabinet ESS, designed for maximum efficiency and rapid installation:
✅ Solar Self-Consumption: Captures surplus solar energy generated by the rooftop PV system for later use, maximizing renewable energy utilization.
✅ Demand Response: Balances energy usage during peak hours, reducing demand charges and optimizing overall energy efficiency.
✅ Rapid Installation: The entire ESS was installed and operational within just 3 days, ensuring minimal disruption to the garden center’s operations.
POWEROAD’s FLEX 215 ESS has empowered this Dutch garden center to harness the full potential of its solar energy while achieving cost savings and sustainability goals. This project showcases how tailored energy storage solutions can transform operations for businesses aiming for greener and more efficient energy models.
